Overview
There is the need to build project leadership capability across Government and those that work within major change programmes. Through NISTA (Cabinet Office), Crown Commercial Service have procured a leadership training course (Project Leadership Programme) for senior project leaders.
For some roles, attendance on this course may become mandatory to undertake the role within Government. For others, it is a recommended course to undertake and is a recognised part of Defra’s, and wider government’s, SCS & G6 talent strategy.
It also forms an essential part of the process to become government accredited for Project Delivery. To continue to comply with NISTA (Cabinet Office) requirements, Defra (and associated ALBs) need to be able to nominate and send relevant candidates onto this training, alongside colleagues from all other departments.
Additional details
The application process is handled centrally within Defra by nominations through the Project Delivery Profession (Kirsty Wildgoose as Chief Project Delivery Officer). The main application is then completed online directly with Cranfield School of Management, the appointed provider.
